Second is what I understood from local Czech media, that his body structure is not really appropriate for cycling and that he had to push himself more than others to compete with cyclists with more appropriate body structure. Therefore his body is worn out. But who knows.
My conclusion is, that he will not be able to compete again. First chance to recover is very small, second no team will sign someone who is injured for more than a year.

What do you mean by 'appropriate body structure' ...what is 'wrong' with his body structure
I hope he is not suffering from depression and is using the time off to pursue other life goals
Yeah me neither. I understand Czech basically as my 2nd native language and don't recall reading or hearing anything about his "wrong body structure" in the Czech media... But I might've missed something.shalgo said:HelloDolly said:lartiste said:In general Konig is specific personality.

I was also wondering about that comment. I don't see how anyone could finish in the top 10 in all three GTs without a body structure that is suitable to cycling.
